Light Loving Window Shades, Sheer Shades, Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades near Brunswick, Georgia (GA)

One of the easiest ways to bring more natural sunlight into your home is by installing light loving window shades. This classification of window treatment (which includes varieties of sheer shades, vertical treatments, and screen shades) uses semi-opaque textiles in innovative manners to create window coverings that can both block light and invite it in.

5 Benefits of Natural Sunlight in the Home

  1. Free Light: Natural sunlight creates warm and glowing interior illumination at absolutely no cost for homeowners.
  2. Solar Heat: Heating bills can also be helped by natural sunlight that brings with it free solar heat that can be harness in colder weather to offset costly artificial heating.
  3. Calming Effect: Natural sunlight has a physical effect on our mood with the ability to lower stress and anxiety and provide much needed vitamin D.
  4. Makes Spaces Seem Larger: Spaces with more natural sunlight feel larger and more open than dark, gloomy rooms so with light loving shades homeowners get more sunlight, a better view, and enhanced interior aesthetics.
  5. Easier on the Eyes: Natural sunlight is much easier on the human eye than some forms of artificial light that can cause eyestrain or fatigue.

Light Loving Sheer Shades

Sheer fabric is an incredibly versatile textile when used in window treatments. Its diaphanous nature filters light allowing in beautiful, soft illumination but filtering out harmful UV. Hunter Douglas has taken sheer fabrics and crafted several styles of horizontal sheer shades. These light loving window shades have a sheer base with opaque fabric vanes that act like the louvers on shutters or blinds,opening or closing to block more or less light.

Both Silhouette® Sheer Shades and Pirouette® Sheer Shades create an inner atmosphere of soft radiance with a choice in vane size as well as a wide range of color options. Silhouette® Sheer Shades have the additional feature of being available with Duolite®, which adds a second room darkening shade to the treatment to exponentially increase the range of light control offered by these sheer shades.

Light Loving Screen Shades

Like sheer shades, screen shades use translucent textiles to create window treatments that can block or permit natural sunlight from entering your home. The screen materials act similarly to sheer in that they filter out the negative elements of sunlight but allow for natural illumination. There are several styles of light loving window shades from Hunter Douglas that use screen materials including Designer Solar Shades and Designer Banded Shades.

Light Loving Vertical Treatments

Even in the realm of vertical treatments there are modern styles from Hunter Douglas that carry the light and airy feel of light loving window shades. Luminette® Sheer Panels combine the openness of sheer shades with the operation and control of traditional vertical blinds. The result are light loving vertical shades with a gentler aesthetic that work especially well for both sliding glass doors and broad windows.
